Prime Residential Plot For Sale in Monte Mayor Benahavis

Plot & Build Potential

The 2,775 m² plot has a stated buildability allowance of 12.2%. This permits approximately 338.55 m² of construction, creating scope for a substantial contemporary villa designed around privacy, views and outdoor living.

Architect-designed plans and detailed renders are already in place. Therefore, a future owner can begin with an established design concept rather than starting the architectural process from the beginning.

The proposed design can provide a useful foundation for the project. However, buyers should review the plans, planning parameters and current licence position with their architect and solicitor before proceeding.

Orientation and Views from this Plot for Sale in Monte Mayor Benahavis

The plot faces south, allowing the future villa to make the most of natural light throughout the day. Its elevated position also opens the outlook across the valley and forested landscape towards the mountains and Mediterranean.

These broad views provide a strong starting point for an architectural layout centred on terraces, glazing and indoor-outdoor living. Moreover, the surrounding greenery creates a feeling of space and seclusion.

Community and Location of this Residential Plot in Monte Mayor Benahavis

Monte Mayor is an established gated community known for its mountainous landscape, low-density setting and substantial private plots. The development has 24-hour security, while its natural surroundings create a quieter alternative to more densely developed coastal areas.

Although the setting feels secluded, the coast, golf courses, restaurants and daily amenities remain accessible by car. Benahavis Village, Estepona, San Pedro and Marbella can also be reached through the surrounding road network.

The plot lies within the municipality of Benahavis. As with any building project, buyers should independently confirm planning conditions, licence timescales, service connections and construction requirements before purchase.

• Does the plot already have a building licence?
